Sound Characteristics
The Xtreme Silver Series DC Power Cord combines 12GA Duelund tinned copper conductors with seven 24GA to 32GA 5N OCC silver solid-core conductors per signal path. This hybrid design brings together the strengths of the Xtreme Series and True Silver Series, creating a more balanced and versatile sonic character.
It retains the Xtreme Series’ natural, smooth, and highly musical presentation, inspired by the classic sonic qualities associated with Western Electric, together with a quiet background and comprehensive tonal balance. At the same time, the OCC silver conductors contribute the sweetness, refinement, speed, power, and dynamic energy associated with the True Silver Series.
The Xtreme Silver Series is designed to achieve a harmonious balance between the natural character of Western Electric-style tinned copper and the clarity, speed, and refinement of modern pure silver. This versatile sonic balance makes it well suited to a wide range of high-end audio systems.
Recommendation
If you appreciate both the natural, musical character of Western Electric-style tinned copper and the clarity and refinement of pure silver, but find it difficult to choose between the Xtreme Series and True Silver Series, the Xtreme Silver Series offers the best balance of both.
Selecting the Right Audiolund Series
For simplified product selection:
- Xtreme Series – For enthusiasts who prefer the classic vintage Duelund/Western Electric sonic character.
- True Silver Series – For listeners seeking the purity, speed, and transparency of modern 5N OCC Silver.
- Xtreme Silver Series – For those who enjoy the Duelund/Western Electric signature with additional silver-derived refinement and detail.
- Ultimate Silver Series – For listeners who favor silver performance while retaining elements of the classic Duelund character.
- Flagship Series – For those seeking an equal balance of both sonic signatures.
1) Default: Red copper + Black Strip with Black Backgrounds
2) Optional: Red Copper + Red Stripe with Black Background
Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables use multi-core designs incorporating various conductor types, gauges, and combinations. As a result, they require an extended run-in period to reach their intended sonic performance.
The thick, solid-core OCC silver conductors typically require a longer run-in period than Duelund tinned copper conductors, which use multiple parallel strands of finer wire.
As a general guideline:
- Most Audiolund cables: approximately 100 to 200 hours
- Xtreme Silver Series: approximately 200 to 400 hours
Because the Xtreme Silver Series incorporates multiple solid-core OCC silver conductors together with Duelund tinned copper conductors, additional run-in time is recommended before making final critical listening evaluations.
